Summer Makeup for Oily Skin

Summer heat can cause problems when it comes to keeping your makeup looking good! Add oily skin to the mix, and it's a recipe for disaster. Follow these tips to get a perfectly matte look and combat oily skin woes. ​

​# 1) Be sure to use an oil absorbent primer, prior to foundation application! Mattify Cosmetics Transparent Powder for Oily Skin works as a skin-perfecting primer, to absorb oil and protect pores from foundation. It can be used before any type of makeup, to prevent foundation from settling into pores, and to absorb oil before unsightly shine begins to appear. 

# 2) Matte foundation is the only way to go when you have oily skin. If you're looking for light coverage oil-absorbent foundation, try Mattify's Tinted Powder Foundation for Oily Skin. Those who prefer extra coverage should look for an oil-free waterproof foundation, which will be long lasting - even in hot, humid weather. Regardless which type you select, don't forget to set it into place with oil-absorbent ULTRA Powder! ​

# 3) Blush is a must to complete your look. Mattify's Long Lasting Matte Blush absorbs oil and provides a silky pop of color that lasts all day. Those with oily skin should always opt for matte blush, as shiny mica-based blush can make pores look larger, causing skin texture to appear uneven. If highlighter is used, stick to using it only on cupid's bow, tip of nose, under brows, and on inner corners of eyes - never on cheeks or over blush.
